Rosemary Johnston sent the following that is a solemn reminder about needing to be real cautious when enjoying the great outdoors:

The following may be of interest to Palomar residents.  “The Dutch Creek Fire” write up from the USDA Forest Service documents the effectiveness of fuel clearing activities in preventing widespread loss of structures when the inevitable fire occurs.

A very special house on Palomar has some very special people packing!  Ohmygoodness, we will all be sorry to have Dale and Michele move to Reno.  But their kids and those cute-as-can-be grandkids there are thrilled! 

Who do you know that would love to make this enchanting home their very own? Everywhere you look there are treasures to discover.  Click for a quick peek then let’s go see!

(When you open the photo link, double click on that first photo and scroll to the bottom of the page to read just a little of what makes this charming home such a one-of-a-kind). 

It is a pleasure to open the doors for you of The Storybook House

 Everyone is invited to head to the Hay Barn tomorrow night for Movie Night with John Lesac and his fancy surround-sound system.  A world of enchantment awaits with Beauty and the Beast coming our way via high definition Blue Ray.

Sunday Night, Oct. 17th at 6:59 pm

Coffee, hot chocolate, tea and popcorn will be waiting for you.   (We promise we’ll have the power turned on this time so it is HOT when you arrive!) If you’d like to bring your favorite appetizer or dessert to share, that is wonderful but not necessary.  Come and enjoy. 

BYOQ  – You might want to bring your own Quilt for curling up on a hay bale to watch the show.  There are some chairs, you are welcome to bring extras just in case.   It will be warm in the barn.

Directions:  Take State Park Road to Fern Meadow Road (directly across from the County Road Station). Turn right.  When you get to the top of the hill, turn right at the big stone wall.  Drive on up to the Hay Barn. Please drive slowly to keep the dust down. Lots of parking.

Clear or rainy, the show will go on.  🙂

No reservations necessary – just an old-fashioned evening in our barn with Palomar friends. 

Questions?  Comment to this post or give us a call at 760 742-1742.

Just a reminder to the folks out there, tomorrow is the big multi-family yard sale this Sunday the 17th, tomorrow at the County Park on Crestline Road.  Follow the signs!  🙂

Furniture, books, kincknacks, dishes, tools, garden supplies, movies, and lots more stuff, come see for yourself. And there is still enough room if you want to sell your own stuff at this event.

Call John Lucia and leave your phone number, we will return the call.

Open for shoppers Sunday from 8:00 am to 4:00 p.m.

Just spoke with Simon-the-trail-scout for Hyundai Canada on the mountain for the day.  He was putting up signs directing drivers for the launch of the Hyundai Sonatas that will be on Palomar twice today.  Fourteen journalists flew in from all over Canada and the US.  They will be sharing the driving of seven cars to later publish their views and photos of the new Sonata. The plan is for the first group of seven cars to stop at the General Store for snacks about 12:30 and the second group at about 3:00 or so. 

I found it interesting that with all the mountain roads available to them in Canada, they choose Palomar for their launch.  This Mountain is a pretty special place, don’t cha think?
